Chapter 532
Annie’s hand shook. The towel wrapped around her nearly fell.
Hadn’t they said that everything had been taken care of? Why did he look so alert?
“…”
Hadn’t they said that they’d done everything that was needed? Annie was terrified.
Joe narrowed his eyes and walked toward Annie. He took his tie off and said, ” You’re here early.”
“W–What?” Annie stuttered in surprise.
What did he mean by that? Did he know she was coming?
In addition, he wasn’t surprised to see her. Had Grayson and Thomas told Joe she would be here? Was Joe not as merciless as she thought him to be? Did he like her back?
Annie’s heart raced.
“Skylar, help me remove my clothes,” Joe said lowly. Anticipation laced his
tone.
He would’ve suppressed it if she wasn’t with him. Now that Skylar was right before him, there was no need to hold back.
Annie’s face fell. She stiffened up. Joe thought she was Skylar!
This realization made her earlier thoughts seem like a joke. She said hoarsely, ” Alright.”
With shaking hands, she reached out to him.
Skylar had been getting ready for bed when Paul called. She was rather surprised. Why would he be calling at this hour?

He hung up immediately after he was done speaking.
Skylar’s sleepiness dissipated. Wasn’t Joe attending a charity gala? Why would something happen to him there?

Paul’s fingers trembled around the room card. As he stared at the ascending numbers in the elevator, he cursed, “What broke–ass elevator is this? Why is it so slow?”
What kind of person was foolhardy enough to do this?
Joe’s drink had been laced a while ago. Everyone at the gala should’ve known how he would punish the perpetrator for his actions. Yet, someone still dared to do that!
Finally, the elevator reached Joe’s floor. Paul immediately raced toward his room and opened the door with his card.
However, something was pushing against the door, and Paul couldn’t open it, no matter how hard he tried.
“Mr. Martin, are you inside? What’s going on?”
He pushed even harder. This caused the person behind the door to fall.
A woman screamed.
Paul’s eyes widened. He realized something and screamed, “Holy shit! No matter who you are, you better fuck off right now! Do you know what you’re doing? You’ve got a death wish! I want to see who’s scheming against Mr. Martin!”
A roar came from inside the room, “Get lost!”
Paul was dumbstruck. He asked, “Mr. Martin?”
Was Joe telling him to get lost?
“Paul? What are you…”
